The Libertines to reform for Reading and Leeds festival
March 29th, 2010 by Ewan Eyre
It is strongly rumoured that The Libertines are set to reform for a headline slot at this summer’s Reading and Leeds festivals. The band originally formed in 1997, with members Pete Doherty, Carl Barat, John Hassall Gary Powell going on to reach great success with albums Up The Bracket and their self-titled second.
However, Pete Doherty’s much publicised personal problems were the start of the band’s demise, and although he and Barat have since gone on to form other reasonably successful projects, they have never reached the heights of their Libertine days.
The news will come as a huge plus for fans looking to buy Reading and Leeds festival tickets, as sources have reported today that the band have already accepted a huge sum of money in order to appear at the festivals.
Reading festival tickets and Leeds festival tickets go on sale this evening at 6:45pm.
